Port Sorell resident and Generation-X member Andrew Billing sat down with The Advocate's CAITLIN HEATHCOTE to talk about what he and his family would like to see in the budget and what has been concerning him.

RETIREMENT AGE

The federal government is poised to raise the retirement age to 70 however, Mr Billing said he wanted more clarification on this point once the budget is handed down tonight .

``I want to have a bit more detail surrounding this, as in, is it only you can't access a pension until your 70 or you aren't able to access super or pension until that age,'' Mr Billing said.

``As an office worker I would have expected to remain in the workforce until age 70 but I would like to be able to access my super so I am able to see what that engagement would look like.''

INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING

Mr Billing said that so far the budget had been circulating information that the country was in dire amounts of debt he said he hoped to see the government do some strategic spending.

``Government spending on infrastructure is useful, so I'd definitely like to see them supporting initiatives like that,'' Mr Billing said.

``It helps the construction industry and that would definitely be useful, particularly in Tasmania.''

WELFARE RESTRUCTURE

Mr Billing works for Mission Australia in its employment services sector and said the restructure of welfare could have huge impact on his employment and the people he helps.

``I'm not sure what this is going to look like but if its a restructure across the board that could definitely impact me, in the long run,'' Mr Billing said.

However, he said that it wouldn't affect his family life.

``Both me and my wife work and we don't get any support from a welfare level,'' he said.

Mr Billing has two teenage children and a six-year-old and said his family get on a modest income but said a debt levy could impact them.

The Advocate will chat with Mr Billing after the federal budget is handed down tonight.
